This is what my day looked like.A little winter.A little spring.The drugstore in the strip mall where I shot this picture was selling sacks of gardening soil alongside firewood. Seasonal collision.There were also plants for sale; a good sign of things to come. The only edibles were parsley and oregano; fine. I've got a couple of packets of seeds I'm planning on getting into the ground any day now. (Peas and chard. Good spring plants, and they should come up, ready to eat, soon!)Hope the sky stays pretty.

I am tired of the rain although I know we need it. And the good thing about the weather today was that the kids were able to go outside at recess. Crap! That reminds me. I forgot to take my weekly turn on the monkey bars.

I love Peas. I just want to brag about some italian pole peas that I planted last November. They are about 5 feet tall and they are flowering. I should be harvesting in a couple of weeks. Pass the Peas Please and Visualize Whirled Peas. Peace, Paul

Hi there Cutie Crumb! As for the hot chili sauce used in the brown rice porridge, the sauce is called "hot and spicy sauce" (yes, that the unfortunately non-descriptive title). But the sauce comes in a red label with a picture of a black-haired, motherly figure.

The sauce is sold in a glass jar and looks like red pepper flakes in a red oil. The ingredients (in English) include: prickly ash, onion, chili(es), MSG, and canola oil. (That prickly ash goes a long way!!)

Who She?

I live a couple of miles from the Marin County Civic Center Farmers' Market, which feeds my little blogging hobby. Hell, it feeds me, too.
Formerly employed, I'm now a bum. Happy bum. Tomato ranchin' bum.
But I'm still mad.
